If you don't have a floppy drive, a USB thumb drive might do it.
It looks like I have to install the "nvatabus.sys” zip file onto the computer.
I can download the zip file from my other computer.
When you say "floppy drive", do you mean a drive for the old small square plastic floppy disks that may have been in use c. 2000 A.D.??
Sorry, I'm very ignorant when it comes to computer terminology.
My computer handles CD type discs.
These trademarks are on the front of the drive:
DVD MulitiRecorder RDL
RW
DVD RDL
CompactDisc
Rewritable
Multi Speed
Would using a compact disc work??? Which type of disc would I need to buy???
(Again, I apologize for sounding like a moron).
If a compact disc will not work and my computer is too new (I bought it nearly 2 years ago), what would be a good USB thumb drive you would recommend to buy???
Here's my computer information:
OS: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32 bit
Processor: Intel ® Core ™ 2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2046 MB RAM
DirectX 9.0c
Sound: Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
8800GT NIVIDIA Geforce card, 1,024.0 MB memory
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Speakers: Logitech
I also found this page at the techspot.com forum; it is a more recent page (December 2009).
I haven't done anything with the computer yet, but things are not looking too good after reading it.
